Chapter 13

“Then brother, don’t you like Sister Nuannuan?”

Sister Nuan Nuan is so pretty, does my brother really not like her? She really likes her.

Yan Fangming: “…”

His silence caught the attention of the two elders.

Yan Fangming coughed lightly and rubbed her little head. “What do you know, little girl? Go to bed.”

“Humph! You’ll regret it someday!”

Shuangxi made some harsh remarks and left angrily.

She was so sad, no one at home understood her!

After Shuangxi left, Wu Xiaoying looked at Yan Fangming seriously and asked, “Fangming, you are not attracted to Nuannuan, are you?”

She really hadn’t thought about the two of them, mainly because Xiang Nuan had just arrived here as an educated youth. She was worried about whether the child could adapt to rural life, and she didn’t have time to think about marriage for the time being.

But why did she feel that her son had that intention?

That’s right, Nuannuan is a city girl, pretty and educated, which man wouldn’t like her?

“Why are you talking nonsense? Go to bed quickly. You have work to do tomorrow.”

Before Yan Fangming could say anything, Yan Mancang started to chase him away. The couple had been together for five years. Wu Xiaoying knew that he was dissatisfied with him, so she curled her lips but didn’t say anything. She got off the kang and went back to the west room.

The father and son were the only ones left in the room, sitting in silence. After a long while, Yan Mancang said, “Whether you have any thoughts or not, I don’t agree. Go to sleep.”

After he said that, he started to prepare the quilts and spread the bed.

Yan Fangming was puzzled, “Why?”

Yan Mancang was so angry. This brat really fell in love with that girl!

He stopped and looked at Yan Fangming with a sullen face, “Why? Don’t you know her background?”

Yan Fangming thought it was nothing and smiled nonchalantly, “Didn’t you tell me that she severed ties with her family?”

Yan Mancang was speechless when he looked at his innocent son. “That was all done for others to see, don’t you know? Even if it’s broken, can it change her background?

This child is a good child. If you were not a soldier, I would have no objection. If you two were to get married, don’t blame me. Would the organization approve it?”

“You won’t know unless you try.”

Yan Mancang snorted, “Why try? Even if you get married, her background will affect your future promotion! What’s wrong with you, you little brat!”

“Okay, okay, let’s stop talking and go to sleep. She may not even like me.”

Yan Fangming didn’t expect that his father was thinking so far ahead. Since nothing has happened yet, it’s better not to talk to him about it.

“Remember everything I said!”

Yan Mancang glared at him, then made the bed and went to sleep.

Yan Fangming lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. He just realized that he actually liked Xiang Nuan.

When did it start?

Maybe it was the first time I saw her when I got home that this little girl with such a bright and charming smile left a mark in my heart.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up unconsciously.

Now that he has made up his mind, he has to let her know as soon as possible. He should make good use of the few days at home to win her favor and try to find a partner as soon as possible to prevent her from being abducted by someone else when he is not at home. He knows how desirable this girl is.

Wu Xiaoying returned to the west room and looked at Xiang Nuan, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Thinking of Xiang Nuan’s embarrassment just now and Yan Mancang’s attitude, she finally did not speak.

As soon as he got up the next morning, Yan Fangming found Wu Xiaoying and told her that there was no need to find anything for him anymore.

Wu Xiaoying still had something she didn’t understand, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. “Hey, why do you like Nuannuan? What does your father mean?”

Yan Fangming told the truth, “He is just worried that Nuannuan’s background will affect me. These are not a big deal. I can handle them. When we are really together, I will do his work.

Auntie, I really like Nuan Nuan, you have to stand by me.”

Wu Xiaoying smiled and said, “I thought about this matter between you two last night. It would be a good thing if you two can succeed. Don’t worry, as long as Nuannuan agrees, I will definitely stand by you.”

She had been worried that Xiang Nuan wouldn’t be able to find a suitable one in the village, and had forgotten that she already had one at home. Nuan Nuan was pretty and well-behaved, and she was a college student. Her son was also good-looking, and now he was the deputy battalion commander. The two of them couldn’t be a better match!

As for what my wife is worried about, since my son has said so, he can definitely handle it.

“Aunt, do you think Nuan Nuan will like me?”

Yan Fangming was still a little worried. He always felt that he was not good enough in front of the person he liked.

Wu Xiaoying frowned slightly, “Oh, I really don’t dare to say that. Who knows what that girl likes? I haven’t asked about that. How about I go and find out for you first?”

“No need for now, I’ll take care of it myself.”

Yan Fangming thought about it and decided to refuse, fearing that she would say too much.

Wu Xiaoying laughed, “Okay, you young people can handle your own affairs. Isn’t free love popular in the city now? You two are keeping up with the trend, haha.”

After all, she has been in Beijing for more than ten years, and her open-mindedness is not comparable to that of an ordinary rural woman.

Yan Fangming smiled and nodded when he heard this.

Today is the day when the educated youth are officially assigned to work. Ten educated youth have arrived in the past few days. After breakfast in the morning, the loudspeaker in the village started shouting, and the educated youth and villagers rushed to the wheat field to gather.

Gu Wenshu’s foot had healed. When she saw Xiang Nuan, she smiled and went over to greet her.

“Xiang Nuan, you’re here so early?”

Xiang Nuan also smiled and replied, “I was just a few minutes earlier than you. Is your foot okay?”

She shook her head. “It’s okay. I haven’t thanked you yet.”

“I didn’t help at all. You should thank Yang Bin.”

When Gu Wenshu heard the word Yang Bin, her fair face flushed. “I thanked him. By the way, I heard that you two came here together, and you are college classmates?”

Xiang Nuan nodded, “Yes, we are the only two educated youth from Beijing who were assigned here.”

After she finished speaking, she teased Gu Wenshu with a smile, “You have found out a lot. What? Do you have any ideas?”

She liked the heroine very much when she read the book. Although she hasn’t met her much now, she is indeed a girl who is very easy to like. Anyway, she will not follow the original owner’s old path and compete with the heroine for the man, so it is also nice to help and support the CP on the spot.

“No way!”

Gu Wenshu seemed to have been touched upon and patted her arm with an embarrassed look on her face.

“She has!”

Li Qinghe on the side revealed the truth directly.

“Qinghe, stop talking nonsense.”

Gu Wenshu reached out to cover her mouth, but Li Qinghe dodged it.

Li Qinghe smiled and encouraged her, “Yes, it’s true. It’s not shameful. Why are you shy? Are you a woman? If you are a woman, be bold!”

Gu Wenshu glared at her unhappily and stopped being stubborn. “I think he’s a good guy.”

She was just a little shy, not the kind of person who was timid. Qinghe was right, there was nothing wrong with admitting it.

Xiang Nuan was about to say something when Yan Mancang started talking. Everyone quickly shut their mouths and listened carefully.
